Located in Sydney’s Chippendale and adjacent to the University of Technology Sydney, Central Park has also confirmed the new development. According to Palace Cinemas, the venue will boast a collection of international film Festivals including “the best of contemporary cinema from Italy, Spain and France.”
“A carefully curated program of stage-to-screen content from the world’s foremost dance and theatre companies, including Covent Garden, La Scala, Bolshoi Ballet, Opera D’Italia and National Theatre, will also feature,” according to the chain.
